 O light the candle, John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass
Sit here by my side
For the night is very long
There's something I must tell
Before I pass along
I joined the brotherhood
My books were all to me
I scribed the words of God
And much of history
Many a year was I
Perched out upon the sea
The waves would wash my tears
The wind, my memory
I'd hear the ocean breathe
Exhale upon the shore
I knew the tempest's blood
Its wrath I would endure
And so the years went by
Within my rocky cell
With only a mouse or bird
My friend; I loved them well
And so it came to pass
I'd come here to Romani
And many a year it took
Till I arrived here with thee
On dusty roads I walked
And over mountains high
Through rivers running deep
Beneath the endless sky
Beneath these jasmine flowers
Amidst these cypress trees
I give you now my books
And all their mysteries
Now take the hourglass
And turn it one its head
For when the sands are still
'Tis then you'll find me dead
O light the candle, John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass
這首歌是《The Celtic Circle》這張CD中拿出來的，我那個很牛的音樂專家推薦的。這首歌，是這個有名的女歌唱家，叫Loreena Mckennitt. 這首同時也是她的叫做《神秘的書》 裏麵的.
下麵是我從網上找的對她的碟評。
"Loreena是一位講故事的高手，將古詩歌與傳統音樂相結合。《神秘的書》將古老的故事與傳說用她那如浮在空中的輕羽般輕靈縹緲的聲音講述，伴著迷人的音樂讓你的耳朵與心靈共享。"
"時間始終在流逝，我們終會老去，愛人終會離去，無論是自己抑或別人，每一次的分別都是痛苦的開始，每一次相聚都是幸福的到來，對於感情，我始終是無法抑製的隨處迸發。非常喜歡此碟，感情的細膩，柔柔的聲線，優美而豐富旋律的音樂都會給我們不同的感覺。
請原諒我的悲哀，本來此碟應該是一張浪漫柔情似水的情碟，但是收到網友盈盈的信，她怯怯的詢問是否可以代她點播一首音樂，獻給她的失去的親人。茫然間，聽到了此碟，好想哭泣，原諒我這個愛哭的男人吧，雖然我無法知道她的喃呢是什麽？我隻知道自己的思緒隨著音樂的流淌而起伏跌宕。
為何悲哀會漫漫的襲上心頭，或許也是因為封麵的緣故吧，枯黃的背景，仿佛是生死之間的逾越，驀然回首，她在那裏孤立，漠然的眼神讓我無助，纖細的身軀讓我顫抖，散亂的頭發更添加了一絲憔悴。
此碟的分類非常廣泛，屬於NEW AGE,CELTIC,FOLK,並且融合了意大利語，西班牙語等多種元素。而現代的音樂之所以給人不同的感受和好聽享受，就是因為他們會充分的融合不同的元素。 此碟，結合了凱爾特的悠揚，新世紀音樂的絢麗，民族音樂的質樸，揉捏出來了一張極其濃鬱的感情色彩的女聲吟唱音樂專輯。特別是，樂者平緩的心態，多年旅遊的經曆，創造性的添加了詩詞風格於其中，更加重了本碟作品的優雅，溫和和美麗。從總體音樂欣賞角度而言，非常類似Jennifer Warnes的THE HUNTER,但是相對感情更加細膩和多變，是在是一張不可多得的欣賞專輯！"
